Mark 11:22

Mark 11:22 Context

19And when even was come, he went out of the city. 20And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.23For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 25And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Bible commentary

Wesley's Notes for Mark 11:22

11:22 Have faith in God - And who could find fault, if the Creator and Proprietor of all things were to destroy, by a single word of his mouth, a thousand of his inanimate creatures, were it only to imprint this important lesson more deeply on one immortal spirit?

Discussion for Mark 11

(22-26) All my zeal and determined perseverance cannot manufacture a form or method with which to make God do for me. If we see certain prayers seemingly not heard over a long time; we have to examine ourselves by this that the Lord told us; "Believe that you receive, and you shall have," and to really know confidently the Lord's love and ability with that "whatsoever" we may have to ask Him for.

Perhaps you have wondered why we must forgive others. We may be unaware, but we all offend God someway somehow every day of our lives. The Bible says to treat others the way we want to be treated. Therefore, if we can forgive others then God has a basis to forgive us, and thus applying the Ransom sacrifice of Jesus to us.

Truly, for all the books that ought to be written, about all that Jesus said and did, the world itself isn't big enough to contain them! Two examples in point: first, that the Lord teaches all those whom He sends on His errands, just what they will meet with, and how to answer; secondly, that He, our King, rides upon an ass, a beast of service and toil, and smarter, than the horse of a conqueror.

God created us before the foundation of the world. Then He made us to exist here in these earthly tents with our will to choose His will or ours. I pray for Gods will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven! Watch ICHURCH and learn more than u ever imagined!!
